Was there ever any fighter who was angry, violent and was prone to getting in to fights left and right?


I know Tito and Conor were hard to deal with but were there any fighters who were extremely aggressive and difficult to control and prone to violence on and off the cage?

 
He got fired for domestic violence I believe. Kind of funny since Dana and his slapping shit.





Good call on both but neither were that good of a fighter like Barnes but they were for sure violent.

I know that he's not prone to fights outside the cage (at least that I know of), but Jeremy Stephens gives me real Barnes vibes.
 
Not UFC, but Gilbert Yvel was a bit of a lunatic.

I always got him and Cody mixed up. They have teh same style and looks as well as aggression. Met few people in real life that were in low income neighborhoods, bearded angry young men prone to freak outs.
 
Khamzat is Russian Mike Barnes. That chaotic energy where you're constantly wary of him, like a pit bull owned by some girl wearing camo pants who drives a jeep and is NOT strong enough to restrain him if he decides to start attacking people.
 
B.J. Penn has gotten into fights outside of the octagon.

Bas has loads of street fight stories.

Overeem and his brother hospitalised a gang of bouncers.

Also story from Frank Trigg about him Hendo and Randy fighting bouncers.

"In 1995, Randy and Henderson cleaned house on five bouncers in Buckhead (ATL)–it was a brutal bloodbath and took about 90 seconds, max. I was with them, and believe me when I tell you it was total carnage. It started when Randy pushed Dan into a car–just horseplay–outside a bar, and the doormen started talking ****. One of them grabbed a baseball bat and was acting like he was going to swing. So, Randy and Dan squared up.

After a few moments of banter–Hendo told the dude he was going to shove the bat up his a*s–Randy suddenly lunged at the dude with the bat, who immediately tucked tail and retreated into the bar with Randy on his heels. Henderson and I remained outside and Dan literally mowed through two of the four remaining bouncers–a fourth friend and I pitched on the last two. One of the guys Dan lit up tried to run away, and Dan would let him go for a few steps, and then beat him down. This lasted for about a block–I know, because I had to track him down so we could elude the police, and was literally a trail of blood on the street. Then, when I went to get Randy out of the bar, I saw that he had destroyed the place by repeatedly picking the bouncer up and tossing him into tables and across the bar.

Dan had just picked up some chick 20 minutes earlier, and she was just horrified, but ended up running from the police with us. We tossed her over chain link fences and brick walls, and by the time we got to our car, her dress was in tatters and she was just livid. Keep in mind, this was two years before either guy fought in MMA. I should also point out that I’ve known Dan for nearly 20 years and Randy almost 15, and it’s the only time I’ve ever seen either guy in a street f*ght. The dude with the bat just set them off.

Best part is, Randy was interviewing to be the head coach for the U.S. Greco team, and he was out to dinner with the executives the following night. In the middle of dinner, a cop shows up at his table with the manager, and they say that Randy has to leave. When the USA Wrestling attorney asks why, they said that it was because Randy and some buddies had destroyed the place the night before and a*saulted their security staff. Turns out it was the same place! Luckily, they just booted Randy and no charges were filed."

He actually got arrested for blasting somebody outside the cage, Dana had to pay a shit load money to fix that situation.
Iirc Ronda went with Dana to help him that time.
 
These days, Khamzat can't even be at a card without being involved in a pull apart
 
Junie Browning the short time he was with UFC.
